There’s also a menu on the top left that gives you multiple options like – facing the camera, hiding character, personal information, and the game logo, or even defaulting to the first-person POV. Apart from that, there are also a bunch of poses and expressions to choose from before hitting the capture button.

Once you’re satisfied with the output, you can go ahead and save it on your device. You can use the photo mode on both PCs and smartphones, and it works seamlessly.
